12 Kyle is being made to name 5 emcees better than some of your favorites, lets see how he does!

You ever buy an album on a whim and it ended up being dope? No promo, no word of mouth and it ended up a banger?

I grill 12 Kyle to pick which of an emcee's 1st or 2nd albums are better

The first full Hip Hop Tour, it was everything!

In this episode 12 Kyle grills me to try and place random Hip Hop albums from the 80s in my top 10, 15, 20 ...

There's always talk about who is underrated, and most of the time the same emcees are always mentioned and/or on some peoples top 10Wanted to focus this one on, those who are dope and almost NEVER get mentioned ... kept by me!

I Wanted to shine a spotlight on some of the women in rhyme who put in work in the 80s and early 90s who do not get a lot of attention or mention in Hip Hop conversations ... maybe you'll go back in revisit some of their work or discover where some of the current flows come from.This episode is the super dope and underrated Hip Hop Group Finesse & Synquis! listen and let me know what you think!@encyclopediaHH

Having a little fun, I name the Hip Hop Album, Kyle named the Skip or Skips he feels is on that albumSimple and Easy ... come in a disagree let us know!

On the heels of the Sprite "Obey Your Thirst" Hip Hop ads, St. Ides did something even better and bigger, Commercials, a Mixtape of the dopest artists and got an entire culture drinking one brand in unisonWhat a damn time!!!

Lord Finesse, Diamond D, Big L, O.C., Fat Joe, Buckwild, Showbiz and A.G.The Collective is not talked about enough ... so I'm talking.

In the 80s and 90s there was a clear difference, back when emceeing was a vocal sport vs. research and bringing personal issues to the music.

Kid n Play, Salt n Pepa, Sweet Tee, Antionette, Dana Dane, Kwame ...WHAT was Hurby doing!? They were all together and did NOTHING!

In the 90s Sprite launched a campaign with the slogan "Obey your thirst" directed to the Hip Hop Audience ... lets talk about it

Hip Hop STILL doesn't have a proper awards show, and it never has, the greatest of genre never got their just due and all of the classic emcees, songs, and DJs will never get their shine or love ... till now Im going back and giving the legends of 1989 their credit and just due ... roll with me.#89HipHopAwards #EHHPodcast #ApplePodcasts #HipHopAwards

The early 80's ... 1984 - 1985When UTFO and Roxanne Roxanne hit the air waves ... and then Roxanne Shante sparked a WAR, this episode was a long time in the making, if you were around, remember, if you weren't there will never be anything like this again

In the 80s and early 90s the DJ was the backbone of the crew/group ... rarely heard though, it was a legit surprise when the DJ actually rhymed ... figured I'd spotlight a few of my favorites

This episode I ask @12Kyle the Encyclopedia Hip Hop Podcast 10 Questions ... lets see how he does

There was one huge Celebration for Hip Hop turning 50, and it was kinda wack ... how could we do better?

What would be different?What would be better?I know a ton of things would be worse, for me ... what say you?

Before Social Media, hell, before the internet ... and before or around the time of Cable; we had no idea about some of the emcees and groups who were putting out music, a lot of times we bought albums based purely off of the cover.

I admit it, I never listened to/heard Nicki Minaj's verse on the Monster song, everyone talked about it, everyone loves it ... what did I think when I finally heard it? Well ...
